How to Plant: Ease of Germination: Moderate. Seeds need darkness for germination. This is the most important thing to know about starting Viola from seed. Sow seed indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost, cover lightly with soil. And then place newspaper, black plastic or aluminum foil over the container/seed tray. Viola seeds usually germinate in 1-2 weeks. You can also sow seeds directly outdoors. Viola does best in a semi-shady spot.
